No more leaky pipes!

DH fixed the pipes and today he'll patch up the two big holes in the walls and the one in the kitchen ceiling. He had to wait for everything to dry out before he could fix it. The funniest thing (well it's funny now, but it wasn't then) happened yesterday just when he finished. I was FINALLY going to get my shower, but he insisted on going first. While he was in there, the power went out thanks to a pending thunderstorm. We didn't even have a cloud in the sky at the time. It rolled in quickly though. The storm passed, the power came back on, and I was able to get my shower at last.

While I was waiting to get my shower, I was able to get a bunch of scrapping done. I did this one for the lyrics challenge at DSO. I wasn't actually all that thrilled with the lyrics we had to work with, until I made the LO. Then I was sobbing as I typed them onto the tag. I'm such a wimp. The kit is Sherbet Dreams by Punky's Pixels, available at Seaside Scraps. The template is by my ADSR2 partner, Chelsea, and it's still available on her blog for free. The font is my absolute favorite lovey font, Fiolex Girls and the lyrics are by Bill Joel.

This is the float our school PTO built for the town Christmas parade. Every year there is a theme that the floats need to conform to. This year it was Holidays Around the World. So our float had Mt. Rushmore, Big Ben, the Eiffel Tower, a windmill and St. Basil's Cathedral. My DH made the windmill and it had a motor in it and actually turned. The kit is Shirley Jean by Punky's Pixels (available at Seaside Scraps) and the fonts are Arial and Christmas.

Here's what I'm downloading today:

Teriann Hanks has a beautiful Desert Rain mini kit. These colors are awesome.

Red Black is the new kit on Amelie's blog. There's some white in there too and it's very pretty.

If Melanie Ann's Zesty Summer Mini Kit on Digiscrap Boutique looks familiar, it's because another piece of it was given out on Digital Freebies last week. So you can combine the two to make an even bigger kit! Remember, you need to comment to see the magic download link. This is only available today, July 16.

Princess Pamela is on a roll. Her Brady kit has planes, cars, bikes and puzzle pieces. This cute kit is all boy.

Pretty Bluebells are blooming on Lindsay Jane's blog.

Kim B. has a Shabby Elegance overlay today. I thought she already gave us this one, so I had to look back, but that was Grubby Elegance, and it's still available if you scroll down.

Magdalena decided to name her new kit Owl La La. I'd suggested Tootsie Pop because the kit has lots of brown in it, and the owl reminds me of the owl from the old Tootsie Pop commercials. Remember? "Mr. Owl, how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?" Well no matter what she named it, I call it CUTE.

N.B.K. has more of the Rose Kit available today.

RAK Scraps has started giving out the pieces of the July Mega kit. This one has a red, white and blue patriotic theme. Last month they changed the way they distribute the mega kit. So every few days they post new links and remove the old ones. These were posted yesterday, so you don't want to wait to go snag them. You must be a member to get the freebie.

Miss Vivi has part four of five of her Home Sweet Home kit ready for upload. Scroll down if you didn't get the other three gorgeous parts.

What I'm playing:

I can't forget to fill out my Bingo card and send it in for tonight's Bingo chat on Moo Two. The chat starts at 9 p.m. Eastern time.

There's a new Fun, Funky Mystery number on Gotta Pixel. You can win a cute set of pewter numbers, if you didn't already get them last week.

Today is the start of the ADSR2. I've got my running shoes on and I'm ready to go. See you tomorrow. :)
